Direct from the great CASINOS of the Las Vegas Strip, and billed as “Master Magician & Piano Genius”, JARRETT & RAJA bring to Singapore their amazing and unique blend of magic & music. Acclaimed by the likes of “Siegfried & Roy” and “Penn & Teller”, JARRETT & RAJA represent the exciting next generation of what’s known in show business as the Double Act. At a 1998 private Christmas event at the Friar’s Club in NYC, magician Jarrett Parker asked Raja Rahman, a friend and recent graduate of the world famous Juilliard School, to “add a little piano accompaniment” to his magic. The mix of piano and magic swept the audience off their feet and the double act of JARRETT & RAJA was born! Since then, they have achieved a level of success that has taken them onto the major stages of New York, Las Vegas, Asia, Europe and the world. A NYC Greenwich Village theatrical run marked the very first public production of JARRETT & RAJA. This New York City debut received such critical acclaim that they were soon booked at Lincoln Center. A move to Las Vegas in 2000, found the pair booked at The Regent Hotel & Casino, and an extended run at the Four Seasons Las Vegas. In 2003, JARRETT & RAJA appeared (and disappeared) at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA, presented special guest performances at the Paris Hotel & Casino main stage and traveled to China for a extended engagement near Hong Kong. The highlight of 2004 was a month long run at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival (UK) where the show was dubbed as one of the best sellers of the year. Following that successful run, the guys began their work with the enormously talented director Kenny Ortega, who later directed “High School Musical” and Michael Jackson’s last tour. 2005 brought a whole year of UK engagements and appearances on British radio and TV talk shows. Selfridges London commissioned them to produce their “Vegas SuperNova” event with David LaChapelle, Pamela Anderson and The Pussycat Dolls. The summer was spent in their own showroom at the Blackpool Hilton. In 2007, J&R were brought in to star in “Elements”, the first ever American born production commissioned and launched in China. This collaboration with Daniel Flannery Productions along with Michael Curry and Eugenio Zanetti led to a wildly successful production with a cast of 30. During 2008, they headlined for several months on Holland America Cruises and then on to Budapest, Hungary to consult on a major film production. In 2009, JARRETT & RAJA were asked to perform with rock band One Republic at a Los Angeles Holiday Spectacular, traveled to numerous worldwide corporate events, appeared for a third time on the main stage at Hollywood’s Magic Castle, and signed an exclusive personal management contract with Ron Severini/CASTLE TALENT, Inc. Most recently, they wowed audiences at the world famous “Jubilee!” at Bally’s Las Vegas. For 2010, JARRETT & RAJA are excited to join the creative team and international cast in Singapore’s new spectacular, “Voyage de la Vie”!

Returning to the U.S. in January of 2012, JARRETT & RAJA became a part of the 2012 NBC show "America's Got Talent". To date, the duo has proceeded through 3 rounds and are part of the distinguished "Final 48".
